8. Can you frame your philosophy or cosmology of life? What role(s) do humans play in it?

"Let him that would move the world first move himself." - Socrates
¨Things are not as they are, things are as we are¨ - Clarice Lispsctor (in free translation)
¨Be the change you want to see in the world¨ - Gandhi

We are, each, as special, as important and as necessary as each tree, each seed and each rain drop.

Generally, people can recognize nature as powerfull and indispesable to life - although many do not take care of it as such - but find it difficult or haven´t yet awaken to agknowledge the importance of our individual role.

Humans need to realize their individual power and, along with it, their responsability, and shape their life experience to be a love experience, taking care of their relationship with others, with nature and also, with him/herself. Only then, we will be able to see meaningful changes, first in ourselves, then in our homes and, ultimatley, if we manage to achieve a higher level of collective consciousness, we will be able to generate a real positive and regenerative impact in the world.
